    - email security It used to be (I think) that opening an e-mail was safe as long as you didn't open attached files. Now I'm hearing people can use code to get into your system which is unseen and contained in the body of the e- mail and simply opening this e-mail to read it can unleash this code. What I'd like to know is if you are at risk simply by opening an e-mail that has no file attached to it. And what can I do to prevent this, short of not opening e- mails?

    - Messanger Service Pop Ups Am getting pop ups in middle of screen under title "Messanger Service". Most are selling software to fix a "glitch" in Microsoft's Windows Messanger installed in Windows 2000, NT or XP, or so they claim. Also get a few of same type of pop ups not selling anything but wanting to chat. How do I get rid of these unwanted pop ups. My AOL "Blocking Pop ups" doesn't work on this problem. What does?

    - can i stop web page redirection ok. The problem: Some one changed a file in my IE program Files. Reason I came to this conclusion: First: my search page was changed from the msn search page to www.white-pages.ws. They did a good job too. When I went to click customize search it opened the same page in a new window; very clever. Solved this by downloading upgrade of IEv5.5 to IE v6.02 and blocking web page by putting in the restricted sites under Internet Options/Security Tab, restricted Icon. Second: I tried viewing a geocities.com site and was redirected to www.white-pages.ws. So I typed in www.geocities.com and the page came up. Now when I typed in www.geocities.com/ (note: added the back slash to indicate subdirectory) and it came up with white page ws again. So I went offline and deleted the temporary internet (all off-line content) and cookies then placed in the address bar www.geocities.com ... unable to pull up page off-line. I then typed in www.geocities.com/ and poof, the page shows up. I assume it is like the 404 Error page and I just don't know what the name of the file is. I had another website change that in a previous version IE. Questions: Is there a place where you can find out the name of these files or where they are stored? ie. 404 Error, Search page, and so on. Is there any way to stop web redirection? So that instead of being redirected to www.white-pages.ws.com it will ask or prevent the redirection. Is there a way to fix this problem, or is it a standard Window's reformat and reinstall issue? I thank you for your time. A response would be more than greatly appreciated.

    - Pop-up ad filtering I have Windows ME. In the past week I have had a flood of pop-up ads, some of which are very offensive. We are using Comcast broadband for Internet connection. In one answer to a related question I was informed some versions of Windows have an Admin Tool called Messenger than can be turned off to discourage these pop ups. I can't find Messenger on my system. *Is there something in Windows that I can adjust to fix the problem or am I going to have to buy a pop-up filter? *If the latter, which ones do you recommend?

    - someone unknown sending spam from my id address I was recently contacted by Road Runner because someone got into my computer from the internet and was using my ip address to send spam. I've added a firewall and have it set so that I have to permit or deny any access to or from my computer. I get two messages (every minute!) that I can't find information on. Following is the Incoming Message Alert!from Kerio firewall software: "Someone from 192.168.1.1, port 1901 wants to send UDP datagram to port 1900 owned by 'SSDP Service on Windows Millennium' on your computer" Details about application: c:\windows\system\ssdpsrv.exe Can someone tell me what legitimate program might be needing this access? I do not host a site on my computer. I have high speed internet access through Time Warner/Road Runner. I don't file share with anyone and only have one computer connected.

    - Blank windows update notifications... Lately, when XP's automatic windows updater has announced an update is ready, clicking on "info" has produced a blank window: No information about what's about to be downloaded. This means either MS has developed a bug in the updater or someone else has hijacked the update system and is doing God knows what with it. These blank updater windows have been labeled both "Windows Updates" as well as "Intel Network" updates, which is meaningless, as a practical matter, since a hacker could label it anything he wants. I certainly hope Microsoft will look into this situation promptly. This is not a Good Thing. Very truly, Dave Tag: Security Update 2/13/2002 MSXML 4.0 Tag: 23245

    - June 2003 Cumulative Patch Hello, I received an email this morning advising me to run an attached file, called update804.exe. An email scanner at the server removed the attachment, telling me that it believed it contained a virus. What now? Thanks, Bob Tag: Security Update 2/13/2002 MSXML 4.0 Tag: 23241

Windows Update constantly alerts that
this update is needed despite the fact
that it's been done (several times) on a
W98SE machine.

Any way to stop the alerts? Thanks!
